JEFFERSON' G. WIGGINS, OF SENECA FALLS, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN SHEET-META-L CANS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 219,048, dated August 26, 1879; application tiled i June 21, 1879.
To all Whom fit muy concern:
Be it known that I, JEFFERSON G. WIGGINs, of Seneca Falls, in the county ot' Seneca and State ot' New York, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in SheetMetal Gans; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of referencemarked thereon.
Figure l of the drawings is a representa.
. This can has near its chine an annular groove or channel, a., bounded at its lower edgel by a bead, b, extending out beyond the walls of ihe can, and at its upper edge by a rectilinear portion, c, in line, or nearly so, with said walls, the Whole being spun out or swaged from the blank before the can is put together. The lid L iits snugly over the rectilinear part c oi' the chine, and bears at its lower edge against the bead b, forming an inclosure for the wire e;
Usually the lid is hinged to the body` ot' the can by means of a strap, d., vibrating on a staple, e', on the can; but any hinge may be used. The wire e has at each end a loop, f, and
lower edge ofthe lid is then lightly soldered to the bead b, the solder coming in contact with the wire only at the points, two in nuniber, wherethe wire extends out of the groove,
neither end being permanently fixed.
In opening the can, either loopis seized and 1 forcibly drawn out; and should one of' them break, the other remains.
The wire has a purchase or leverage on the bead b, and its function-cutting the iilm of solder-is accomplished with surprising ease. Either loop may be used as a graspingpoint, and with equallyT good results.
'What I claim as new, and' desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination of a can-body having an annular groove in its chine, a bead, b., at the lower edge ot' said groove and extending out beyond the sides of the can, and a rectilinear portion, c, above said groove, a lid iitting snugly on said rectilinear portion and bearing at its lower edge against said bead, and a wire secured in said groove, inclosed therein by said lid, and provided with loops, the lower edge ot' said lid being soldered to the bead, substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the above Ihave
